Hello student,

With 84 percentile in JEE Mains , OBC category , and Punjab domicile , you may have chances to get into some good engineering colleges, particularly under state quota. Here’s a list of potential options:

Colleges to Consider:

  1. Punjab Engineering Colleges:

    • Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jalandhar :

      • You may have a chance in branches with lower demand, depending on the final cutoffs for OBC and Punjab domicile.

    • Punjab Technical University (PTU) Affiliated Colleges :

      • PTU has several affiliated engineering colleges across Punjab where you can apply under the state quota.

    • Chandigarh Group of Colleges (CGC), Landran :

      • Known for offering a range of branches like CSE, IT, ECE, and mechanical.

  2. Other NITs or IIITs:

    • NITs with Higher Cutoffs :

      • You may have a chance in less competitive branches like Civil or Chemical Engineering in lower-tier NITs or IIITs.

    • IIIT Una, Himachal Pradesh (close to Punjab):

      • You might secure a seat in branches like ECE or IT.

  3. Private Colleges in Punjab:

    • Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala :

      • You might secure admission here but may need to check if you fit the cutoff.

    • Lovely Professional University (LPU) :

      • With 84 percentile and OBC quota, you should be able to get a good branch here.

        Recommendations:
  • Check Counseling Options : Participate in JoSAA counseling for NITs and IIITs, and PTU counseling for state-affiliated colleges.

  • Cutoff Research : Check previous cutoffs for these institutes to get an idea of your chances in specific branches.

With 84 percentile in JEE Mains, OBC category, and Punjab domicile, you have a chance at NIT Jalandhar , state-affiliated PTU colleges , and private institutes like Thapar or CGC . Consider participating in JoSAA and state-level counseling.
